Stephen Smutka, DDS We first met Dr Smutka 23 years ago when my then-3 year old son had a dental emergency. I have never before or since met a provider so professional, so compassionate, and so caring with children. I've referred many friends/family to him. I believe he may have saved my son's life. Our family dentist wanted to use general anesthesia at Northgate (not Northwest - Northgate) Hospital on my toddler to extract a broken molar. Instead of the trauma and potential risk, Dr Smutka easily extracted the tooth at his ... read more
No B.S. Old School Dentist - A Good Guy. I brought my 20 month old for his first dentist appointment a month ago. Found Dr. Smutka after doing two days of online reviews and seeing all these posts on this site. Office summary: Kid-friendly waiting area, nice staff. Dr. Smutka and his staff are very into preventive dentistry. I went in thinking, "Give the kid a toothbrush and let him pretend to brush". They told me to let him do some brushing but to finish it up for him, even if he's not happy with the process. I was hesitant... read more
Great with Extraction without General Anesthesia In our experience, Dr. Smutka himself is amazingly good at doing his work and relating to young children during difficult procedures. No other dentist would consider extracting my son's infected tooth without general anesthesia, which has risks we'd rather avoid. He used local anesthetic, patience, and savvy instead. For this we will always be grateful. My son really likes him too, despite having had a tooth pulled at his office. Dr. Smutka's helpful in counseling about mainta... read more
I wish they could be MY dentist! My three-year-old saw Dr. Way and had a fabulous experience. The waiting room was super kid-friendly, and the toys were clean and not icky like they are in some waiting rooms. The receptionist was fantastic, the hygenist so friendly and great with kids, and Dr. Way had a really soft touch with my son. I expected tears and a complete freakout, but since it's like Funland in there, it was a totally positive experience. My one-year-old was angry that SHE didn't get a turn in the magic chair.
All 3 of my kids love Dr. Smutka I've got 3 kids who are terrified of shots and hate to go to the doctor's office. But none of them have the slightest problem at Dr. Smutka's office. They have each had their teeth cleaned a few times, and every experience has been great. I could go on and on, but basically if you can keep a 3 year old a 5 year old and an eight year old happy (while cleaning their teeth), all in one day, you are doing some thing right.
A wonderful children's dentist I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about or if they went to the same dentist. My daughter was terrified of dentists and I thought our only way to get her teeth fixed was sedation. I was told about Dr. Smutka by a friend. My daughter had a great experience their and was able to go back and get all the work done. The staff were friendly and took their time with her. The atmosphere was nice and conducive to kids.
Great pediatric dentist Dr. Smutka's office, near Children's Hospital, is great. They do all kids, all the time, so they are wonderful at it. If anything, they cater a little too much and take a little too long. My kids could probably handle a more straightforward visit, but I bet there are more anxious little ones out there who benefit. The doc is very low-key. We've never needed any treatment, though, so I don't know how he is w/ a drill. Only downside is that he isn't a preferred provider on our health plan. Goes to show ... read more
Not what I expected Dr. Smutka came highly recommended to me as I was looking for a pediatric dentist for my 2 1/2 year old. She did not have a good experience with her first dentist, so I looked long and hard. I drove over an hour to see him with my daughter and we paid cash $180. I was disappointed to say the least. The office was nice and the staff was nice to me, but they did not establish a re pore with my daughter...therefore she was terrified! Basically they held her down while she cried and they cleaned her teeth, I ... read more
Love the staff! My daughter used to be terrified of going to the dentist, and I thought it was just her personality (tends to be a little fearful). But then we finally switched to Dr. Way and what a difference! She loves the dentist now! The staff there is amazing. It's worth going out of your way to come here. I don't think Dr. Smutka is taking new patients, but Dr. Way is, and the staff is the same for both. I especially recommend April. My daughter loved her right away.
